04/09/2005 23:17:32 Jackson Approaches Kanye West To Produce Album?

Kanye West, who was recently named the hottest number one star of the year, just might try and help resurrect Michael Jackson’s' career. In an interview with Sirius Satellite Radio, Kanye was asked about a very important phone call from one King Of Pop.

"He called and asked you to produce and album for him? What's going on with that?"

"Actually he has, I am just trying to figure out the time. It's a time thing, but I definitely want to do something. I may not have enough time to do the entire album all the way through. I am definitely gonna do some joints." Kanye West.

HELL YEAH!!!!

Oh brother...
Not another "Invincible"
I hope Mr. Weest (if he does take the job) does not try and get Michael to follow trends but helps him pave new trends. Michael is talented - he has proved that through the decades. However, my problem with "Invincible" is....
If "Privacy," "Speechless" and "The Lost Children" are most personal things Michael would write himself then Michael seriously needs to just open up his vault. I'm starting to think 91-97 was Michael's best output.

HIStory (Disc 2) and Blood On The Dance Floor are my favorites!!!

Hopefully "Serious Effect" will make it and be a single

agreed 100000% with everything you said

hellomoto said:

YAY!!! I'm glad someone agrees with me! People tease me cus of my favorites and now I know I am not alone - for you are here with me. Bad pun but could not resist!

hellomoto said:

Along with "For All Time" and "Xscape"

I heard his rap song "We Be Ballin' You" and it sounded like Invincible out-takes. Bleh. I like it - but then again, I would probably buy a cd called "Yellow Pages" if Michael put it out and sang the yellow pages - cover to cover. Oh crap!! I hope I didn't give Sony an idea for Michael's next CD. Oy!!! hahaha

Macaulay is that you?

Yep and I'm writing you live from Neverland Valley's computer system. How did you ever figure out it was me? Drats! I knew the "yellow pages" remark would blow my cover. LOL Just Kidding

Funny comment though!

jasonstar said:

funny comment? i dont even get it. what has maculey got to do with what you posted?

Apparently Michael hasn't learned anything from this trial. It's time to become an adult Michael. Leave the rap, hip hop, and other kiddie shit to the kids and do some adult funk.

Or even just a pleasant soul record.

This is about 5 days old - http://s3.invisionfree.co...topic=4869

Honestly, I wish Michael would just take some time off and get his personal shit together. Forget about the career for once. Work on issues.

Makes me cringe

This is exactly how I feel.Forget about a new album or a tour.He needs to get some therapy and get himself together first.That should be a priority.

What the world needs now is maybe, like, a greatest hits compilation. You know, like take the top three or four songs from every decade and put them all on one CD, and call it, oh, I don't know,"The Greatest Hits" or "The Essential Michael Jackson" or "Number Ones" or jeez, I don't know. Because the world needs to hear his old stuff. They can put it out in seven different editions, with seven different colors, one for each day of the week. Maybe they could put a new track in with each of the new CD's, so that Sunday would have the greatest hits, and maybe one song about how it's important to save the children. They could have a choir in the background and maybe like an orchestra. At the end of each CD, they could have like outakes of Michael and his family playing the spoons or something. You know, like giving something back to the fans. Or they could have the hot producer of the moment have Michael do the new song in the latest hot style. For example Daddy Yankee can have Michael sing a Reggaeton version of "Ben". For the video, they could have Michael dance, doing something radical like spinning in place and doing something hip-hoppy like stepping backwards as he pushes his weight off from one foot to another. As a capper he can grab his crotch, yell, and take a baseball bat and smash an SUV. Kinda like a political statement--Fight the Power!

I mean, this producing ish is easy! It's not like anybody's ever done any of this before!

I love Michael as a talent, but he has serious issues that years of therapy may never erase. The last thing he should be thinking about is a new CD, but I guess he needs the money. God Bless Him, but if he continues along the same path he's been on for the past twenty years, he will piss away a unique talent and doom himself forever.

He just released The Essential Michael Jackson, a double CD containing his greatest hits as well as the hits with the Jacksons. The tracklist really does look good, its perfect for newbies to his music. It has 38 teacks altogether.
Here's a link http://www.amazon.co.uk/e...56-1060678

It went to no 2 in the UK but bombed big time in the USA where it only sold 2000 copies in its first week. This is like his 3rd greatest hits compilation.


As for Kanye, I'm surprised Michael wants anything to do with him. Kanye poked fun at MJ in his song Slow Jams. In this song he says "she's got a light skinned friend - looks like Michael Jackson, got a dark skinned friend - looks like Michael Jackson"

I think MJ should keep away from Kanye and his chipmunk music.

Yeah, this is what I was goofing on. Michael needs to do something new. Even without the child molestation charges, he's got to leap out of the past and try something different than the same old songs repackaged for a new decade and the same old dance moves, once revolutionary, that are almost a parody now.

Michael is one of the few artists who can dazzle people while sitting down on a chair and just singing his heart out.

I wish he would display that talent he has that once shook the world.

several years ago,Mike recorded some tracks with Irv Gotti (Murder Inc),when that sound was "hot".And now he's working with another "hot" hip-hop artist.That's how he works.He seeks out production assistance from whomever is "hot" at the time.This is not artistic inspiration...it's more like career desperation.I suspect that MJ is not even into this type of music anyway.He's just interested in selling alot of records.

but hes only ever done that with dangerous and invincible

and only half of dangerous was produced by the 'hot' producer, the other half (the better half) was produced by michael

and plus, we dont even know if this rumour is true. i cant find any other news sources with it on google
[Edited 9/7/05 7:31am]

He never recorded the tracks with Irv Gotti. In fact he met with him at Neverland and Gotti wanted to to get work straight away - Michael told him that he didn't have a recording studio there! I can't believe he fell for that.

I haven't felt that MJ's been musically inspired for awhile. Sometimes I think he just goes through the motions which is not hard when you've lived the majority of your life in the public. In his last few interviews I never feel like I learn much new from him. The answers are safe and automatic. Is MJ into any underground or obscure artists/producers?

The Jesse Jackson interview this year was great, but there he was just discussing the past. It was during the trial so he could hardly talk about plans for the future like they were definite, but he did talk about stuff I've never heard him say before.

You know when I remember of MJ when he was black, I can believe how bad he fell off...
